This MomTalk Jessica is joined by a masseuse (who was once a professional organizer to celebs๐๐ผ) to discuss practical tips and easy stepsfor getting organized, and the link between organization and self care. Cleaning and organizing made easy for all personalities!
Be kind to yourself
Donโt be so hard on yourself. You deserve to be proud of all the hard work youโve accomplished and everything you do for the family. Once you start being kind to yourself, itโll be so much easier to pinpoint different organizational techniques and figure out what tasks need to be done.
Be kind to your people
Similar to being kind to yourself, itโs important to spread positivity to others as well. Everyone will be happier when they live in a nice environment, and organizing will be a lot easier.
Give yourself permission to be your favorite version of you
Donโt hold back! Allow yourself to be the best version and once you do that, you can get so much done. Be who you are and embrace your identity.
Relax
Take a deep breath and relax. Donโt stress out about every little thing because it will be so much harder to get things done. Youโre a hard worker and deserve to sit back and relax!
Survey the damage, find the baseline
If you see a mess, find the cause of it before you clean. Analyze whatโs been causing it and find a solution so it wonโt happen again. Start from one point and work your way around so you donโt feel overwhelmed with the entirety of the space.
How bad is it?
Take a look around and try to see how bad the spaceactually is. Once you get a distinct understanding of how unorganized it is, you can then go from there and figure out how to declutter and organizestrategically.
Gather resolve, make a plan
Sometimes when we see a mess, we want to just dive in head first the second we see it. However, itโs important to gather and make a plan of what chores to do, especially if youโre recruiting other family members. Once a cleaning scheduleis established and everyone knows their task, then the job will get done swiftly.
Get into your zone
Focus is key! Donโt let anything else distract you from decluttering. Just focus on one thing at a time, and once that gets done you can move onto the next task. Getting into your zone while tidying up will help you get stuffdone quickly and efficiently.
Be realistic
Donโt put too much on your plate. Be realistic about what tasksneed to get done, and anything that doesnโt get finished can be done the next day.
Handle whatโs in your hands
Youโre human, and you can only handle so much! Just focus on whatโs in your hands, and nothing more. Donโt let your mind wander off to the other million things that need to be done.
Show some gratitude
Be grateful! You have a house full of love and family. Messes happen, but donโt forget to show some gratitude to those around you. Itโll make cleaning up so much easier!
